1. Pax Americana, 4319 Montrose Opened August 2014

Chef Adam Doris' ability to take simple, fresh, local ingredients to their pinnacle of existence meshes incredibly well with sommelier Chris Fleischman's and restaurateur Shepherd Ross' celebration of wines from all across America. Pax Americana's identity is unique and the cuisine has won hearts and minds of diners and reviewers alike. Some of the dishes, such as eggs in a cast iron pan and covered in local herbs, smoky brisket and sanguinaccio fritters, create new food memories in diners' heads that keep them coming back over and over again. To top it all off is an outstanding cocktail program. Pax Americana is a valuable and significant addition to Houston's dining landscape that is likely to endure.
